BLACK SABBATH
THE TEN YEAR WAR
£195
You might think that you don’t need another Black Sabbath box set, but you would be dead wrong. You can never have enough Sabbath in your life and this is probably the best box set that the godfathers of all things heavy have produced. Not only does it include the first eight albums on super-snazzy splatter vinyl, but the records have been remastered from the original tapes and sound massive. But
that’s not all! It comes with two rare seveninch singles, a reproduction of the rare The Ten Year War brochure, a hardback photobook from the band’s early days, a reprinted 1978 world tour programme and a reprinted poster from the 1972 Seattle Center Arena show. And then there’s the pièce de résistance: it comes with a crucifix USB stick – also known as a Crucistick! It’s loaded with the first eight Sabbath albums in MQA high quality audio – you literally can’t hear Black Sabbath better than this unless you stand next to Tony Iommi and bark requests at him (although this is more likely to result in a restraining order).
